Ellowen?

We really like the name for a girl, with nickname Elle.  Thought?

I prefer some of the other spellings I've seen, like Elowen or Elowyn. I'm not sure which is the Welsh way, but I'm sure someone will chime in.

I know lots of people are sick to death of the El names, but I still think they're pretty.

I think it is pretty spelled as Elowen.

It was one of the featured names in yesterday's Nameberry.com blog about 2013.

The first thing I thought of was Halloween when I saw this.  I'd say no go, but I do like the nn Elle.

I think Elowen is gorgeous.  I wouldn't spell it Ellowen or Elowyn, though (neither are recognized spellings).  You can still get the nickname Elle from Elowen.  Don't worry.

I will say that the El- trend is reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally overdone at this point.

I see Halloween too for some reason. I think it's prettier spelled Elowen. Or even Elowyn.

It reminds me of a name that would be used on an elf in rivendale in Lord of the rings. it's definitely different, but not altogether bad. it's nms.
